Before you get out your calculator, that totals $486,440,870 in campaign contributions to the Democrats and a mere $27,886,800 to the Republicans for their campaigns.\u00a0 That is a ratio of over 17 times the amount going to the Democrats from the unions as compared to the Republicans.<\/p>\n

Also, I hope you noted that the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Union is at the top of the contribution list!<\/p>\n

Get it now?\u00a0 That kind of money gets you a lot of “access” in the legislature and in the White House.\u00a0\u00a0 Now you know who operating the strings on the puppet Obama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
